As a long-time member of the volunteer committee that produced a suburban community festival, I can tell you that Randy does a great job! He entertained adults and children alike, keeping their attention and keeping them laughing. He's done both stage shows and walk-around entertainment. He was always such a hit with our visitors that we had him return year after year.

I highly recommend him for your parties, corporate events, trade show booths, and any type of event. He will keep your guests, customers, and friends laughing, engaged, and scratching their heads in wonder.

Randy performed for both of my boys' birthday parties! He performed for my 5 year olds party, entertaining 15 littles, keeping them as still as can be. The 7 year old birthday party was mesmerizing. He taught this group a few tricks. He captures the audience so well. Gets everyone involved. Highly recommend!

We hired Randy this past fall for my son's 5th birthday party. When Randy arrived, the children were outside playing, and he greeted them in such a welcoming and enthusiastic way. He is extremely professional, and the show was phenomenal! The children and parents enjoyed his humor, positive lessons, and the way he engaged the audience. I also appreciate how during the planning phase, Randy was responsive to emails, and he showed up on time. He's a total class act. We'd definitely hire him again!

Randy is amazing! He put on a covid friendly Magic Show today for our kids Spring break and was outstanding. He engaged all the kids and adults the entire show. His magic was unique and creative and his jokes were funny for to everyone. We will definitely be using Randy again in the future.

Randy performed a virtual magic party for our 7 year old son. 45-50 kids tuned in. Everyone was engrossed. They loved every minute of the show! If you want to make your kid's birthday special and unique during these quarantine days, Randy is the perfect fit! My son felt so special, even without seeing everyone in person.

Randy did an outstanding job at our Halloween Party this evening. His show was extremely engaging and was quick witted, entertaining and created an interactive and memorable magic show performance. We hired a different magician over the last five years or so, and this was by far the best performance and stood out over the others. Randy is a class act, and I would highly recommend him for your party or corporate event. Thanks again Randy for creating such an unforgettable experience for our friends and family! It was great!

Randy was a performer at a school event in my community recently. While his energy was decent and many of the jokes got a positive reaction from the crowd, he just seems off his game. For example, he made a few comments (during a show for kids) about how he does team building for adults and has a lot of "things from companies" to hand out. Strange.

There were also several times when he couldn't seem to find one of the supplies he needed for a trick (like a magic marker). He was searching his supply table during the show. A little awkward for a professional magician. But my biggest gripe is how patronizing he was to the female children he pulled from the audience to be helpers. With each girl, after he asked them their name, he made a comment about her looks.

Like "oh, you're such a pretty little girl". Or "aren't you gorgeous." Once or twice he added a comment that they must be smart too, but it was disturbing how blatant he was about this. It's an outdated habit that needs to stop. When he called boys up as helpers, did he call them "handsome little boys?" Of course not. That would be considered creepy by almost any societal standard.

Why does Randy think this is OK to do for every.single.girl volunteer? It was a huge turnoff for me and the parents I was sitting with. Randy may be better suited to shows for adults. Although as a 40 year old woman I would take issue with someone commenting on my looks as part of a show.

We had Randy perform at our home for a party. He was worth every penny. We had a variety of people, 25 adults, 24 kids (ages 4-12) and he had everyone's attention the ENTIRE time. His magic was outstanding and his jokes were perfect. He knew how to make the kids laugh and entertain the adults the same time. He really set the mood for the rest of our party. Working with Randy to schedule and communicating during our initial contact was also very easy. I highly recommend him!

Randy was the PERFECT entertainment for my 8 year old's birthday party. He and his friends LOVED the magic show. Randy makes the show funny and enjoyable not only for the kids, but the parents too. Our adult friends enjoyed it almost as much (maybe more) than the kids. If you are looking for a great birthday party for your kids -- Magic by Randy is the way to go.

We loved Randy! I hired Randy to entertain at my annual Witches Brew, a Halloween party for 30-40 ladies/moms. Randy was perfect for our group - he mingled doing close-up magic for an hour, then put on a magical show. He got to know all of the guests (remembering every name!) and made everyone feel included. Randy was professional from our first phone conversation and throughout the event. I had complete confidence that he would make my party even more FUN - and he did! Bravo, Randy!

Randy performed at our 7 year old's birthday party last weekend. He arrived "in character" and started engaging the children right away, even while setting up. His show is a great mix of magic and comedy, he had all of the kids captivated the entire time. He was an expert at knowing what jokes and tricks to use with what ages, as we had a bit of a range.

My three year old nephew was laughing as much as my 10 year old son. Also, as stated in other reviews, he was very professional in appearance, punctual and all around easy to work with. We were very pleased!

Randy came to perform a magic show for our summer camp's theme Circus Week! All the kids loved it from preschool to 3rd grade! He not only entertained the kids, he entertained the adults as well! What a delight and we look forward to booking him again!

Hired Randy to do a magic show for over 100 families at a school event. He was professional, timely, confirmed event the day before- left me very at ease. The show was great! One of the best I've seen. All children ages 2-10 were engaged for 45 minutes- show was funny, exciting, and all around fun! Appropriate show for children with just enough adult humor for all to enjoy! Would highly recommend Randy for entertainment any party, work function etc!

Randy created an amazing show for 500+ students - ages 5 - 12 - at our last school assembly. Considering the wide range of ages, he did a fantastic job holding the students' attention and had segments that catered to all. Randy is very easy to work with, communicates via email, phone, and text, and is punctual. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the show and we look forward to the possibility of working with Randy again!
